Ha Joy, koplamp behuizing zwart maken is een bevredigende mod he! Ik heb dat jaren geleden ook gedaan, geeft de auto net wat meer "smoel". Ik had overigens de hele reflector weg gehaald zodat ik de behuizing helemaal kon spuiten van binnen. Helaas heb ik hem 3 jaar geleden verkocht, na 17 jaar 340's te hebben gehad. Het model heeft nog wel een speciaal plekje in mijn hart😊
Awesome to see someone working on a Volvo 340, these 340s are now rare in the UK do to age and being a cheap and available drift vehicles. I had Volvo 340 1.7 GL for 5 years from 2000 to 2005 to get me though College and University studies. You are right they are very slow but I had I had a nice sound system in there and did 45K miles. I will always have a place in my heart for a Volvo 340.
@@joy.vanhaelen I used to have the same car together with my mother when I was a student... nice car but actually only built in the Netherlands... at NedCar in Venlo under badge ofVolvo but actually a DAF
Any one who works on cars is cool, you've done a great job of this using your ingenuity, the end result is fabulous! I live in the UK and have a Volvo 940, wonderful car to work on and maintain. Great video, I'd much rather watch content like this than some influencer buying their next Porsche !
I'm on my second 340 now. I've had three or four door handles break on me when the temperature drops to minus degrees. To solve this problem I made some handles out of steel. Unbreakable now. It's quite easy to do. Replacement handle is 75€. Scrap steel is free. You could do that. Happy motoring.
Hell yeah! Not many knows the volvo 300 series even exist anymore. I have a Volvo 360 with a volvo 740 turbo engine in and i gotta say it is a really fun car to drive when you have a bit more power than stock.
Ah nice to see a 340 , here in uk it was my first car in the same colour back in 93’, blue cloth interior over silver a Renault powered 1.7 engine i believe , I don’t find it attractive now but I only watched it as you attracted me to watch this video 😅 . Oh btw the crx is cool I had also a white EF civic👍
Always nice to see girls have an interest in cars and mechanical stuff. Hopefully videos like this inspire others to try, it´s not that cheap to do, but it´s very giving and fun. Volvo can look so much cooler just with a few simple touches. Blacking the headlights are an old trick, but it works every time. Another way to get darker headlights is to mix a few drops of black paint in clearcoat. Then you just paint them one time for lightly tanned, and three to four times for dark headlights. Of course this trick works on rear lights and windows as well. Keep up the good work!
Nice work. Those headlights opened real easy with some heat, it's usually way more work (sticky mess), but I guess that's the advantage of old cars that have had some time to dry up 🙂 You should remove the bumper and any other black plastic trim and try to use the heatgun on them, works wonders to revive some older plastics and a proper black bumper would be an easy and cheap way to make the car look a bit nicer.
even on a s40 from 1999 the trim would look faded grey after a while , but i am contemplating spraying it instead of using a heatgun to "refresh" the plastics , as when to fast or to slow you will get an uneven look !
@ Toch even in het Nederlands: ☝️😅 Was niet mijn Volvo maar van een huisgenoot. Kekke auto. Maar niet zo tof als die van jou! Mijn eerste auto kocht ik als 22 jarige student. Ik kocht een 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe. Was in 2005. Was wel een toffe eerste auto☝️😅🇺🇸
Eerst dacht ik, geinig een Volvo 340, die had m'n pa vroeger ook. Toen zag ik de Honda CRX en was de tweede gedachte, ah kijk ook nog een echte goeie classic. Leuke hobby! Ik heb trouwens zelf ook een Honda (Civic).
I just discovered your channel! Nice 300, i recently bought a 360 gle and started a project series on my channel. Just watched a few of your videos and they are excellent, pace is great as is the info provided via the voice overs. You can see how passionate you are about cars, it clearly shines through in your videos! Have subbed 👍🏻
Lache! 1988 was een goed jaar! Dat jij deze auto als daily gebruikt vind ik wel stoer. De 360GLE is veeeeeeel rapper;) dikke 112pk red block! Staat nog wat ander leuk spul in die garage. In Eindhoven woont een dame en die is ook helemaal gek op der CRX. Blijven leuke auto's.
Ik heb een heel eind hetzelfde gedaan met mijn Leon 1m. Ik heb alleen de reflektoren ook zwart gespoten en in het oorspronkelijke gat vd lamp/peer een aharon projektor dim n groot licht geplaatst met een zwarte gatling shroud. Ze zien gruwelijk donker/mean uit n mijn zicht is met 300% verbeterd, gewoon met een gloeilamp 55 watt. Nix xenon, nix led dus geen koplamp sproeiers nodig. Als je de jouwe nog donkerder wilt is dat de oplossing......n vooral, een berg niet verblindend licht👌
10:36 I hope they don’t leak on you usually you would heat back up the glue around where the headlight lens went to promote a seal again but let’s hope for no leaks❤
Love it, you bought one of those custom auto placards "Shit Box Edition" ! They will also make custom badges for your ride as well as their hundreds of badges already in stock.

Wat ontzettend vet om iemand anders te zien die blij is met een Volvo uit de 300-serie. Ik heb zelf een officieuze 340 DLS uit 1983 met de B19A motor (officieus want zover ik weet was een B19A gekoppeld aan de vijfbak in die tijd een DLS omdat de 360 pas vanaf 1986 een ding was, meen ik). BRANDENDE VRAAG: waar haal jij vandaag de dag onderdelen voor deze auto? En dan bedoel ik de lastigere zaken zoals carrosseriedelen, electronica, pakkingen e.d.
Oeeeeh wat vet zeg!!! Ik moet heel eerlijk zeggen dat ik voor deze auto nog niet veel nodig heb gehad, maar voor mijn vorige 343 en 345 haalde ik eigenlijk al mijn onderdelen van Facebook! 😁😊
Staat een stuk beter! Bij mijn Cinquecento heb je een 900cc en een 1.1 900cc hadden grijze koplamp randen erin en die sportings hebben mooi met zwart, toen ik mijn witte cinquecento gekocht had had ik ook meteen die koplampen besteld. nu heb ik een gele sporting gekocht, daar zaten die standaard lampen in totaal niet mooi, toen weer zo´n setje gekocht meteen alles nieuw gedaan, staat weer mooi :)
This is a Volvo that was co created by Renault and Peugeot, so taking the headlights out might require you to remove the wheel well. (Im joking of course.)
@ ja, mijn ma werkte bij Volvo Nederland en had hem daar van een collega gekocht. De auto was net compleet gereviseerd, maar de verkoper kreeg een auto van de zaak en toen hadden wij ‘m dus. Wij hebben ook de 340 sedan uit de reclame gehad, de NL-31-BV
Nice DAF but you surely know history.❓ Volvo bought the DAF car factory. And the first model was called Volvo 343. And the gearbox was variomatic. And the first year model DISASTER ❗ the quality 😱 I worked at one of the workshops (Sweden) where they "rebuilt" the cars, among other things, they changed the ignition coils, adjusted the clutch, I actually don't remember everything in 1977, but there was "much" more that was replaced. Took about 2 working days and whoever did the work. Test drive it home and back to the workshop. The next day and continued work. The Volvo 343 didn't go fast❗ I met some test drivers from a Volvo where they changed the engine to a V6 engine and a manual gearbox. (The original engine was a Renault 1.4 liter.) And the test drivers had a lot of fun as "everyone" knew that a Volvo 343 fast. But "this one" overtook many other car brands between Gothenburg and Stockholm and the drivers looked 😲😲 But that model was never produced. And finally, you didn't forget 🤔 to glue the glass back on 😉 Could be an aquarium...

Wow nice Job . Nice to See a Girl have Interest in Mechanic 👍
Thank you!! 😊
Cool Volvo, I too love old Swedish cars, I have an old Saab 900 but I used to drive a Volvo 240 estate way back in the 1980's!
Thank you!!! 😊 Ahhh Saab 900s are really cool 🤩🤩 and gotta love 240s as well of course

Thank you for the kind words!! Absolutely love 940s 😍 still miss my old one. Such a great car
I remember sitting in the back when I was a 5 year old boy. The powerful DL execution. Keep it up and keep this solid Volvo running.

Damn thats such a good idea!! This is my fourth 340 and I've had sooo many broken door handles as well.. thanks a lot for the tip!! 😁
Nice jobby. Brings back memories. My grandfather used to drive me to school in DAF and later Volvo 340's when I was a kid.

Great work , little touch that not everyone will spot 💯👌❤❤❤

Awesome result!! I might try this on my Starlet ep91, they have the same clips, so the process should be the same
You daily Volvo 340. Cool. This was our first Volvo in our family
Ahhh that's so cool! I really love them 😍
Here in Sweden we have always looked down on the 300-series :D but you have changed that. I kinda want one now =)
Woohoo!! Haha yeah I get it cause they're not real Volvo's. But they are lots of fun anyways 😊😄
How cool 😎 my first car was a Volvo 360 from 1985, with the B200K engine and VX cam. Still miss it! Show us more 👍
Ohhhh that's such an awesome car 🤩 I'll definitely keep you updated on this project 😄
@joy.vanhaelen Yes please, its exactly 25 years now since i had it, feeling old 😆 had so much fun with that car..
@joy.vanhaelen The original wing looks good, i had that on mine. Same 5 door body as yours. If you can find it.
Sick mod! Adds such a nice touch.

Volvo for life❤
U need to paint the crome part around the grill also black,that would look awesome.
Ah yes, the Volvo that is actually a DAF with an Renault engine. I love how they look though
Have to disagree, Its a Volvo, and if 360 also Volvo engine.
de heerlijkheid van sleutelen aan oude autos =) zie dat je goeie smaak in autos heb haha
It looks great!
Wow a beautiful girl from the Netherlands working on a Volvo can't get better than that or maybe a vid working on the white 850 R 😀
A - a heatgun is better then a oven , especialy old plastics .
B- you can also use "primer" for plastics instead of paint for plastics !
Ahhhh I've never heard of that, thanks!! I'll look into it 😄😄
@@joy.vanhaelen did a lott of painting my moped "Honda MT" and it has a lott of plastic .......it was advised by the local paintshop .......... and it worked well as the primer stayed flexible and your main coat also !

but if for the same price you can get both in one ?
do not know if it exists !
My 3 favourite things beautiful girls Volvos and the dutch🧡
that yellow CRX there! hello!

I would love to see your headlights up close and personal.
always wanted one of these.
Cool thinking and inovation!!! Does this effect the brightness of the headlights?

Hahaha we used to call cars like that truttenschudders and im not translating that
Haha een 340, vroeger in opgegroeid. Later in een 360 in de DNRT geracet. Super degelijke auto's en wel gewoon achterwiel aangedreven.
360 was wel redelijk baas in z'n klasse. Menig BMW en andere soortgenoten het nakijken gegeven. Dat geluid hoog in de toeren zal ik nooit vergeten.
